Red River Civilization, five large spaceships broke away from the huge transport fleet, and finally slowly landed in a port on the fiefdom planet of the Three Princes that was not open to the public.

It wasn't until the spaceship completely landed that the captain Wu Ma Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief - he finally returned safely, and also picked up the personnel of the Tianyuan Star Civilization and the Ocean Group safely.

This time the task was very heavy, because of the traitor, the matter of the third prince killing the prime minister's son was completely exposed, and the direct result was that the balance was broken, and the civil war of the Red River civilization broke out.

After the initial contact, the royal family gradually fell into disadvantage.

Fortunately, there are more masters on the royal family's side, and the disagreement between the prime minister, the nobles, and the military, the two major rebel groups, has given the royal family a chance to breathe. Everyone has temporarily formed a typical three-legged state, but the royal family is weak after all.

Because of this, the three princes couldn't wait, and they were worried that the matter of the Tianyuan Star Civilization would be exposed, so they sent a fleet to meet them in advance, instead of waiting for the people of the Tianyuan Star Civilization to arrive and activate the signal before setting off as agreed.

And when I returned along the way, I was also cautious, for fear that my whereabouts would be leaked or I would encounter obstacles. Therefore, he did not move at full speed along the way, but kept tossing and turning, and finally arrived safely at the fiefdom of the three princes.

The moment he stepped off the spaceship, Wu Ma Chang, who was already at the peak of his cultivation, was a little weak--it was finally completed.

The third prince had already come, and he actually came to greet him in person.

After Wu Ma Chang met the three princes and introduced Gao Gao Shang and others, he stood next to the three princes, and behind him, Gao Gao Shang and a few people walked slowly.

Looking at the Three Princes, Gao Gao Shang began to evaluate. After waiting for almost thirty years, spanning a distance of more than two thousand light years, he finally met the target person, and this person will have the potential to dominate the life and death of the Tian Yuan Star Civilization - at this time, Gundam did not know that the current Tian Yuan Star Civilization had already let go of itself on the road of demon reform.

However, before Gao Shang could speak, the third prince laughed, "Welcome to all the representatives, on behalf of the Red River Empire, I thank you for coming." ”

As he spoke, the third prince came to Gao Gaoshang's side, took the initiative to reach out, and made a gesture of shaking hands.

Gao Shang hesitated for a moment, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face: "Your Highness, I would like to send sincere greetings on behalf of the Tianyuan Star Civilization. We have prepared a gift that we hope Your Highness will like.

The five spaceships we came here this time are gifts. The five spaceships are not exactly the same, they contain the highest technology of the Tianyuan Star civilization, and there are also related technologies in the spaceship's computer. ”

Gao Shang's words are a good explanation of why we came so slowly. The smile on the face of the third prince seemed to be natural.

"No, no, no, I think the greatest gift is our friendship. "The three princes shook hands with great strength—not the kind of competition, but the kind that was very sincere. Obviously, the three princes have carefully studied the etiquette of the Tianyuan Star civilization and so on.

Letting go of his hand, the Third Prince personally invited Gao Gao Shang and his entourage to board the shuttle ship and fly towards the Third Prince's mansion. Gao Shang and his entourage of tens of thousands of people were all picked up.

The third prince sat next to Gao Gaoshang, but his status was slightly protruding, after all, he was the third prince of the Red River civilization, and if it was Corporal Tai Lixian, there would be a problem. But the third prince is very skillful in speaking. first apologized slightly, and finally said that the current situation is tense, and the Tianyuan Star Civilization is not suitable for exposure for the time being, and everyone has to be wronged.

Gao Shang immediately said: We have signed an agreement, and this aspect has been taken into account in the agreement. On the premise that there is no problem with the agreement itself, we will do our best to repay the agreement.

Gao Shang's words made the eyes of the third prince shrink a little, but they soon talked and laughed. Gao Shang also responded cautiously and enthusiastically.

Along the way, Gao Gao Shang quickly analyzed the behavior of the three princes. Although he has only been in contact for a moment, Gao Dashang already has a basic understanding of the three princes:

Another heroic character!

As princes, these three princes should be pampered, but Gao Shang felt a faint aura of iron and blood in the three princes. The three princes are well hidden, but Gao Shang looks at people not only by looking at their breath, but also by a person's temperament.

Breath can be sealed, hidden, confused, and replaced, but a person's temperament is difficult to change. Temperament is the external embodiment of character, and this existence is the trace left by the character after interacting with the outside world, and it is more difficult to change it than character.

Gao Da Shang was a high-ranking official of the Liang Dynasty (when he set off), and I don't know how many people I have seen. At a glance, I saw the hidden aura of the three princes. It's not a spell, it's an experience.

And if a person wants to do everything possible to hide his aura, act in a reasonable, well-founded and restrained manner, and be able to be so polite to a 'primary civilization' like the Tianyuan Star Civilization, then the character of the three princes and so on will be revealed.

Coupled with the conversation along the way, Gao Shang has basically determined the character of the third prince, etc.

After talking all the way, the more the two talked, the more speculative they became. The third prince also has real skills, he is talking about some of the development process of the Red River civilization, and Gao Gao Shang is talking about the development state of the Tianyuan Star civilization, mainly the development after the emergence of the Ocean Group.

"Using scientific methods to study the cultivation exercises, through some sporadic broken exercises, I have actually studied the exercises of the true realm!" The third prince listened, thoughtful, and at the same time had deeper expectations for this science and technology, etc., and unconsciously improved the value and status of Gao Shang and others in their hearts.

As for Gao Shang, after listening to the third prince's personal explanation of the development history of the Red River civilization, he was also full of emotion in his heart. The historical events explained by the royal family are completely different from the history that ordinary people can see.

What ordinary people want to see is a heroic story and a glorious past. What the royal family and nobles and other rulers saw was the cruelty of power competition, the conflict of governing ideas, and the endless exploration of the road to self-improvement by a nation and a country.

Through the words of the Three Princes, Gao Gao Shang faintly realized some experiences, which can be used for the development and reference of the Tianyuan Star civilization, and even for reference. For example, the aristocracy is really unreliable!

The third prince sighed with emotion: "The nobles at the time of the founding of the country were the representatives of glory. However, the nobles who have been inherited to this day have long become the bloodsuckers of the empire. No, they have to suck not only blood, but also bone and marrow!

The hateful thing is that because of the strong inertia of the aristocracy, we know that there is a problem, but we can't find a solution. ”

When Gao Gao Shang heard this, his heart moved--Opportunity! Before coming, Gao Gao Shang had already made countless preparations, and the best way was to rely on his wisdom to become a staff member and a think tank of the Three Princes.

As for whether it would lead to destruction after binding with the Three Princes, Gundam Shang made a choice after a little thought - there was no choice. Fortunately, it seems that the third prince is also a character.

With such an idea, Gao Dashang thought for a moment and cautiously spoke: "Your Highness, for the aristocratic system, our Tianyuan Star Civilization has adopted a small solution, which was proposed by the Ocean Group, and it has been very effective in Tianyuanxing. ”

"Oh?" the third prince raised his eyebrows.

But Gao Shang hesitated, but did not say, but said with a 'worried' face: "But...... This method is also not easy to master. I have presided over this approach in my country, but I have met with great resistance. ”

"Huh...... It's okay, please sir tell me about it. If it is useful, this king will never treat Mr. badly, and will not treat Dayang Group badly. The third prince smiled, as the third prince, and now he is more than a thousand years old, he has never seen any kind of means. This Gundam is obviously inviting pets.

However, capable people, the third prince doesn't mind that the other party is a little arrogant. The most important thing is that if you can really borrow something, it's worth it. The aristocratic system has prevailed throughout the entire Zhou Tian Great Galaxy, and has prevailed for thousands of years, and the inertia of this system is too great.

It's not that people don't understand the problem of aristocracy, but they can't find a better solution. The starry sky is vast, and this alone is destined to have to go through the feudal system, and the aristocracy is inevitable.

But this Tianyuan Star civilization is a little special, but it makes the third prince have a little expectation - he didn't expect this small 'native' planet to have any excellent solutions, which can remove the ills of the aristocratic system in one fell swoop, but it is good to learn from it.

With the guarantee of the three princes, Gao Daishang began to speak slowly: "The biggest advantage of the current aristocratic system, and the most irreplaceable point, is that it is suitable for the interstellar environment. In the vast starry sky, each living planet is like a small island in the vast sea, and it is difficult to establish a complete political structure like the ground in this situation.

But in our case, there is a way to replace this advantage of the nobility. That is, business groups!"

As soon as he heard about the business group, the third prince frowned, "Merchants are even more unreliable. The aristocracy still has at least one layer of honor, but the merchant is completely after profit! And with profit, the merchant is bound to manipulate power. ”

"No, no, no!" Gao Gaoshang's face became serious, "The nobles do not pursue absolute profits, but absolute rights. This is bound to lead to division. But if it is a businessman, they will pursue absolute interests and have relatively few claims for rights.

In fact, the fundamental purpose of the rights needed by the merchants and the rights needed by the nobles is completely different.

The aristocracy's quest for the power to rule inevitably ended up in conflict with the empire. And the fundamental purpose of businessmen in pursuing power is still to pursue higher interests. Maybe the merchant will cause some problems, but the merchant is actually easier to control and more satisfied.

Also, in our experience, the nobility is easy to unite. And businessmen are naturally competitive,

The united aristocracy inevitably led to problems in the political structure of the empire. Businessmen may lead to civil suffering because of their pursuit of absolute interests, but it is difficult for businessmen to shake the political structure of the country. This is one of the advantages of a businessman. Of course, this advantage is only for the Empire and the Imperial Family.

In addition, the nobility class is fixed, and it is difficult to upgrade the nobility. But the merchant class is inherently free, and anyone can become a merchant. In this way, it can give the people at the bottom a way to rise, and it is also conducive to the country's selection of talents.

We can form a constraint on businessmen through profits, etc. Commerce, in particular, has a huge drawback, and that is communication, and the state can control businessmen as long as it can control the channels of communication.

This is what Neptune Group has done.

The above is the original approach of the Ocean Group, which assisted the country of Qixia to complete the transformation of the national political structure, and used this method.

It's just that this method is easier said than done. I've tried it and the resistance is a bit big. ”

"Why does the Ocean Group want to help the country of Qixia?"

"Because the president of the Ocean Group is a man, the emperor of the country of Qixia, is the empress......" someone smiled mysteriously.

"Oh......" The third prince smiled in understanding, but after thinking about it, he shook his head, "Control the communication channel? The universe is vast, how to control the communication channel?"

This kind of communication channel refers specifically to the industrial and commercial links. No group can stand up an industrial and commercial empire on its own, because it doesn't fit and profit!

An industrialized business group needs a large number of technologies and patents, talents, suppliers, distributors, capital channels, basic resources, social contacts, etc., and these points alone are destined to be difficult for a group to complete all. Business groups, must communicate with the outside world!

Taking the manufacture of a warship as an example, there are tens of thousands of technologies, business groups, and channels involved. After some enterprises get the qualification, they will continue to subcontract out, and there will be one package, two packages, etc. In our place, there have even been six-packs, seven-packs.

This so-called control of the communication channel is to control this. As long as a complete industrial supply chain system is formed within the empire, then this system will naturally be able to tie everyone firmly to the chariot of the empire.

Of course, this alone is not enough. To complement this, there is also a parliamentary system, a system of representation......"

Gao Dashang slowly explained the political structure of the Ocean Group, the Land of Qixia, and even the current (30 years ago) Tian Yuan Star civilization, but the three princes gradually listened to it fascinated, and their eyes gradually brightened.

The fleet had arrived at the residence of the Three Princes, but the Three Princes still did not go down, but continued to discuss the details with Gundam Shang. Just let the people around him arrange the residence of Tian Yuanxing and the others first.

This talk came to the next day. In the end, the three princes and Gao Gao Shang actually came face to face and began to quarrel fiercely. The two began a heated discussion over one small detail after another.

Until noon local time the next day, the three princes laughed and walked off the spaceship side by side with Gundam Shang, and then announced that Gundam Shang would become his special advisor. However, this matter cannot be made public, as long as it is known internally. For the time being, the matter of Tian Yuan Xing still has to be kept secret.

As a special advisor, Gao Shang is not only responsible for the communication between Tian Yuanxing and the Three Princes, but also participates in the construction of the political structure of the Three Princes.

When he finally came to his residence, Gao Gao Shang showed a relieved smile on his face: "With this negotiation, the third prince will definitely pay more attention to us. And the Red River civilization, which has fallen into infighting, can't take care of us for the time being. Finally, a precious respite was obtained.

Perhaps, it is time to find an opportunity to deliver a message to the rear. ”
